UPS Shipping Calculator

I am looking for a CFC that will calculate UPS shipping costs
to both US and Canada using UPS's new shipping calculation. It
should not use the oversize flags as UPS has done away with this. I
am using ColdFusion 7 on a dedicated server.
Does anyone know of a company/person that has this component?
I've searched forums and search engines to no avail.
Thanks for your help.

There's a simpler one here: ColdFusion UPS Shipping Rates
It doesn't handle Canada postal codes as it stands, but you could easily just add a <cfargument> for the destination country, and that should do it.

PayPal and a shipping calculator... or Webassist

I wrote a very simple web store for my wife, at www.direct2usales.com which uses PayPal for a shopping cart (her sales are seasonal, so a merchant account via authorize.net doesn't work, since there are monthly fees even if there are no sales)
The one drawback to PayPal is that it does not allow for shipping by weight & distance calculations
Searching this forum, I do not find any way to do such in Dreamweaver... but I did find mention of http://www.webassist.com/php-scripts-and-solutions/powerstore/ as a pre-built solution that will allow her to continue using PayPal... with one example site in their gallery that uses powerstore
Has anyone here used powerstore?
Comments... good or bad... about the product?
Especially comments about using powerstore with PayPal
Thanks, John

Hi John
You could program your own shipping calculator, see - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/shipping_charges.html.

Verizon don't have tracking number for prepaid UPS Shipping?

I shipped back all equipments using Prepaid UPS shipping. I was afraid to drop in any UPS box so I handed the box to the UPS person who comes to our office builing every day. Now Verizon says they did not receive the box and charge me almost $800 for the equipment. According to Verizon shipping instruction, 'customers are reponsible for equiment until reurned to UPS/USPS', and that was eaxctly what I did. I called customer service and was told I was supposed to write down the tracking number. I don't see anywhere that this was written on the shipping instruction or anywhere saying verizon that prepaid the shipping would not have tracking number. What's going on here?

The tracking number was on the label. This should have been written down even if instructions said to or not. It's just common sense to have some type of proof of delivery.
That number was proof the package was signed for and delivered. Without some type of proof you are going to have a very had time proving that they received it. It's basically your word against there's without it.
All you can do is call them and see if they can look into it for you.

UPS Shipping from outside USA

The is this not in Netpoint 5.9 manual
"Please note that NetPoint does not support UPS shipping from outside the United States"
I Am in Canada. Does this mean I cannot use UPS from Canada ?

Correct UPS realtime rates are not available for shipments outside the US. This is a limitation imposed by UPS.

UPS Shipping Integration

I'm getting a requirement to link our ERP application with UPS Web tools, specifically the UPS Shipping API. I'm doing some research and not finding much about integrations done, has anyone integrated any Forms application with the UPS Shipping and any suggested implementation methods.
Thanks,

Hello,
I have not done it yet. However, that should not be very difficult to do.
Please take a look at the SMS sending article by Grant Ronald described here: http://groundside.com/blog/GrantRonald.php?title=sms_text_from_an_application_and_not_eve&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
and which I detail here: http://www.degenio.com/2009/01/java-with-oracle-forms-10g-sending-sms-messages/
Basically, you will have to setup an integration with UPS web service.
So either you use JAVA on the application server side and in this case you will have to import those classes in your form module (PL/SQL wrapping) or if the UPS web service allows it use HTTP get or post and in this case, you either use a stored PL/SQL procedure (DB side) or create a PJC/javabean to interface with the service (client-side java).

Problems with shipping calculations

We have been working with BC eCommerce since the beginning of 2013.
We have been working with UPS and the checkout shopping cart get the shipping costs from UPS.
However we are experiencing a problem with big orders due to the fact that big orders require a second or even a third box and then UPS charges are higher than the calculation
here is what is happening righ now:
we can house 4 products in a box. Each product weights 10.5 pound.
In orders of 4 or less products we dont have a problem. UPS calculates 1 box of 42 pounds.
Let's say we have to ship 7 products, then we have a 42 pounds box and a 31.5 pounds box but the system has calculated a box of 73.5 pound which is lower than shipping the two individual orders.
even using ground transportaion this problem represent 5 to 10 when shipping two boxes and it will grow even bigger when we have to ship 3 boxes (almost $40).
I appreciate your ideas on how to solve this problem.
Thanks

I too, am having issues with inaccurate FEDEX shipping costs.
Our FEDEX rep has provided evidence that somewhere along the way, the measurements sent to the FEDEX server, is being provided to FEDEX in metric measurments.
Which is very strange, as our store is setup in English System of Measurments (U.S. Customary System and the Britich Imperial System) meaning that our dimensions and weight within the BC system are in inches and pounds. (BC support has confirmed that the setup is correctly for inches and pound measurement)
The result is that the shipping costs generated using integrated FEDEX on BC can be significantly lower than when using the same account info on the client's FEDEX web portal. This signicantly cuts into profits - and in some cases the client can loose money after making an online sale!
Is anyone else finding this to be the case? Does anyone have any suggestions? My client is very, very frustrated - and naturally does not want to lose money on shipping. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
TheBCMan - I know you specialize in shipping calculators, have you come across this?
GeckoTales - did you ever develop or come across a work-around?
Thanks everyone. Hope someone has come across this. Am getting desparate.

UPS Shipping = poor

Hi,
I ordered my 17" i7 MacBook Pro on oct. 21 - sent via UPS oct. 27 from Shanghai. Expected delivery date on the UPS website = nov. 1st, then rescheduled to 2nd, then no info at all.
Today is Nov. 1st and I had no news with tracking # on UPS.ca (stuck in Louisville, Kentucky) so I called UPS and they told me it was 100% sure for nov. 4th... what!? nov 4th? and it's seems there's nothing to do about it.
I ordered a Mac Mini on oct. 25 for a friend and got it on oct. 28, three days later via FedEx... Sent from Shenzhen, China...
So, my point is : if there is a comment box when you order a Mac (don't remember), ask Apple to choose FedEx if possible. It was quick for the Mac Mini, not a scratch on the package and the delivery guy was very nice, told me that for FedEx, the standard is 48h for international package.
Standard for UPS : 5 business days + closed weekend (FedEx are operating during weekends).
For every other delivery, please avoid UPS at any cost.
Thanks,
Steve Forest

if there is a comment box when you order a Mac (don't remember), ask Apple to choose FedEx if possible.
No provision for choice of carrier, but there is for shipping time (http://store.apple.com/us/help/shipping_delivery?mco=MTg4Mjg5MTM)
Shipping methods
The Apple Online Store U.S. offers a variety of shipping methods to meet your needs:

If you paid for expedited shipping and did not receive your package on time, please call Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775

Anyone having difficulties with Applecare/UPS shipping times??

Any of the numerous times any of my iPhones failed and had to be sent back as a standard repair/replace, They were shipped by UPS Saver express (not to be confused with the applecare express replacement service offered in the UK & Ireland)
However on this occasion my iPhone was shipped with UPS standard - taking 2 days longer and when i asked apple why this was.. (numerous agents) they either rudely spoke over me or said maybe apple changed their policy on this?? makes no sense.. normally I would send my phone away on a monday and have it returned by wednesday. this time looks like I wont get it until monday..
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same problems?

1)Was my mac going to ship tonight and now it's not?
Not if they could not charge your credit card. Makes sense, you didn't pay for it (technically since there was some sort of glitch)
2)Why do they close the customer service line of a
multi-billion dollar company on the night of a new product
offering??
The same rason companies move US jobs to third world countries, money.
The percentage of people who were may have problems out of the number of people projected to buy the new computer is incrediablly small so it makes no economic sense to staff a whole department and have them sit around and do almost nothing.

UPS Shipping API not pulling Negotiated Rates

I'm having a problem with the shipping options on my eCommerce BC site.
To give you a bit of background: my company has negotiated shipping rates with UPS that are tied to our account on UPS.com. I've created several test shipments on UPS.com to check my rates and have verified that I am pulling the negotiated values. UPS.com also gave us a unique API Key that is tied to our account for use with BC.
However, even after inputting my UPS Account ID/Pass and API Key into BC, the shipping rates in BC continue to show up as approximately $5.00 higher than my negotiated rates. For example, a one pound shipment from 33549 to 90210 with my negotiated rate is supposed to be $9.17, but Business Catalyst shows the shipping cost as $14.16.
The website in question is http://cleangreenwarehouse.worldsecuresystems.com/. On the home page, add any of the products listed in the "Warehouse Manager's Daily Special Offers" to the shopping cart (I've made the four products in this section weigh 1 LBS each for testing purposes). Then click the "Checkout" button to navigate to the shopping cart. Once there, select UPS Ground as your shipping option (With "Address is residential" selected) and select 90210 as the ZIP Code. You'll see that the shipping cost comes to $14.16, when it should be $9.17.
Why is BC not pulling the proper rates? There has to be a way to make this work, it would be a giant downfall of the CMS otherwise.

You've got to be kidding me. I didn't drop $2000+ on a BC Partnership to find out that you can't pull Shipping API's properly.
CMS's like Magento (read the link, it gives instructions on how to implement the API properly) have been doing this for YEARS.
2) Goto UPS.com and obtain an account, goto Business Solutions and search for Online Tools, follow the steps to obtain an access key.
3) Goto Magento Admin → Configuration → Shipping Methods → UPS
4) Key Settings:
Enabled: Yes
UPS type: United Parcel Service XML
Access license number: YOUR ACCESS KEY
Password: Your UPS Account Password
UserId: Your UPS User ID
Gateway XML URL: https://onlinetools.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Rate
Shipper Number: Your Shipping Number (6 Digits)
Tracking XML URL: https://onlinetools.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Track
As you can see, the piece to the puzzle you are missing in the system is the "Shipper Number". This is a unique 6 digit key given to all UPS account holders. Add it to the system so that we can begin pulling proper rates. For crying out loud, manually add it to my XML file if need be (since I have no control over it).
But don't tell me it's not possible, because that is a flat out lie. If you guys fail to provide me with a valid option to solve this problem, I"m going to persue obtaining a refund for my BC Partnership.

Ups shipping rates realtime

How do you get shipping quotes from ups? Do you ever have
issues with ups never returning a shipping rate? If so, what did
you do to workaround this?

Never used it but you could try this:

Ups shipping

Debit cleared my bank on Sunday night, and I've received confirmation that the phone has shipped on 9/14 along with a tracking number. After 36 hours, UPS site says "UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Please verify your information and try again later." Should l be concerned, or is UPS just not updating their records until closer to Friday?

UPS just has not updated their information, probably because its a delayed release deal, or it could be because it is actually being shipped from Apple in China to the US which would actually be a bulk shipment. Try going to UPS and tracking by reference and use your 10 digit mobile number you are getting the iPhone with as the reference number.

Looking to see if any one has created a script to have shipping calculated as a % of Sales

I have a client that i need to shipping caluate based on a % of sales amount.

Hi Harry,
>> It works fine, but seems a little slow for just 11 columns and 200 rows.
I don’t quite understand the goal you were trying to achieve through the code. Based my understanding, accessing 2000+ cells and changing the formula cell by cell may make the macro running slow.
Since I’m not very familiar with your business requirement, I’m not sure whether it is possible to put the logic on the formula instead of changing the formula dynamically through VBA.
Hope it will help.

Jeffrey

UPS shipping and pre-sign form

My iPad went out for delivery today and I left the pre-sign form for UPS on my door. However, they didn't leave it where I specified and will make another attempt tomorrow.
Has anyone had issues with UPS and the pre-sign form??

Same thing just happened to me today. I called UPS, to my surprise the rep knew about the Apple pre-authorization form. They called the driver who said he would try again
I did this often with FedEx and had no problem.

UPS shipping labels do not print correct size, there is no option to change, went onto Windows Explorer, printed correct please see if there is a fix on the updated version of Firefox

the label and direction only print on a half sheet, the label itself should be almost half a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11

You will likely have to delete the Firefox program folder to recover from this XPCOM issue.
You can uninstall your current Firefox version to avoid issues with the registry.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
